Stacey Solomon's career fears after backlash over her fuming response to failed BAFTA win
Stacey Solomon has reportedly got fears for her career after she came under fire for a video following her failed BAFTAs win.
The TV presenter, 35, was left disappointed when her show Sort Your Life Out lost out on the Factual Entertainment prize at the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards.
After the loss, Stacey let rip at the BAFTA judges in an online rant as she said her team were 'robbed' of the accolade, prompting backlash from fans who branded her a 'bad loser'.
Following the criticism, it has been claimed that Stacey has fears about her career and has been 'really upset' by the negative comments online.
A source told OK! Magazine: 'The negative comments really upset her, she takes them to heart, she never wants to be seen as ungrateful, because she's not.'
'She's a really hard worker and gives her all to everything, so it's devastating when it doesn't pay off, and it understandably makes her worry,' they added.
'The fear of ''Could I lose it all too? Could it all be over?'' is always there to some extent.'
However, they added that Stacey has no plans to 'stop doing what she does best' and said her family is her driving force in her success.
MailOnline has contacted Stacey's representatives for comment.
Following the backlash, Stacey was also defended by her friend Emma Parr, who shared a heartfelt post on Instagram praising her for her hard work.
Sharing a photo of the pair together, she wrote: 'You gave it everything. That's what matters. No need for a title to prove what I already know — you're a winner in my eyes. Love you @staceysolomon love you @sortyourlifeout.
'I saw the effort you put in. I saw the late nights, the early mornings, the quiet sacrifices no one else noticed.
'You carried yourself with strength, determination, and grace. And that means more than any title or trophy ever could.'
Stacey commented 'Love u' on the post, with Emma writing back: 'Ditto.'
Stacey's show Sort Your Life Out was nominated in for the Factual Entertainment BAFTA but lost out to Rylan Clark and Rob Rinder's programme Grand Tour.
Stacey had shared a video expressing her frustration over her BAFTAs loss and letting loose at the award show's bosses.
'We didn't win a BAFTA. And I know I'm supposed to take it gracefully like a champ but, I'll be honest, I'm devastated,' she shared.
Laughing at her reaction, she continued: 'I'm not handling it very well, I'm not taking it very gracefully - I'm devastated! I'm devastated for our whole team, like I'm so gutted for our team.
'Everyone got dressed up and was really hopeful, I think because they work so hard. It's not an easy show to make, Sort Your Life Out and the team work so hard to make it happen and they so deserve the BAFTA.
'The Sort Your Life Out team deserved a BAFTA and I'm devastated. I'm not saying that everyone else didn't deserve their BAFTAs, they absolutely did.
'People think making TV is really easy and it's not, so everyone deserves recognition. But I'm just gutted for my whole Sort Your Life Out family because I feel like they deserved a BAFTA. I'm gonna say it - I'm gutted!'
Going on to reveal what it takes to make their show, she went on: 'We'll pack up a house and within seven days that house is packed up, into vans, over to a warehouse, laid out on the floor, we go through it meticulously, we make sure it doesn't just get chucked away.
'We donate, we recycle, we resell things. We put it all back and try and put it in systems to help families move forward...'
She also gave a shout out to the families who give up their time and open their homes to TV audiences, especially when they run the risk of being judged.
A fuming Stacey concluded: 'I'm gutted!' before praising her whole team and noting they planned to give it their all for series six.
Fans then claimed Stacey was starting to 'show her true colours' compared to her usual wholesome demeanor and told the BBC presenter to 'grow up' and that she has 'got too big for her boots'.
They wrote: 'She's not as wholesome as she comes across; It's called life Stacey so get a grip; Be thankful for where you are and remind yourself where you came from. Stop whinging;
'Grow up. Don't be a bad loser. Others were better. You smile and shut up; 1st world problems of the 1%;
'Oh Shut up will you..... just remind yourself that, you can go home to a nice tidy warm and friendly house, food in the fridge, heat in the radiators and a loving family;
'Showing her true colours - worthy of being cancelled; Get real Stace. Just because YOU want it doesn't mean you deserve it; Getting too big for her boots me thinks;
'She gone so big headed!!!!; Entitlement is off the charts;
'It's ok to be disappointed for the team, but thinking you should have won a BAFTA because the show you make is hard work is just ludicrous. You took the job. I'm sure get paid handsomely for it. A lot of truly hardworking people don't get well paid and don't expect an award, or even think they deserve one.'
However not everyone agreed and others believed Stacey was being 'refreshingly honestly' and was simply just 'disappointed for her team'.
They penned: 'I don't think she was letting rip she was just saying she was disappointed for her team. She wasn't ranting;

There's no better way of spending a family evening than Gifford's Circus
Celebrating its 25th anniversary yet seeming to have been a fixture in the circus landscape for aeons, the old-world charm of the Cotswolds-based Giffords Circus offers an antidote to everything that's miserable about the UK at the moment. The sight of Giffords' big-top, with attendant gypsy caravans – as if spirited from the pages of Dickens but serving lots of good grub and drink too – is itself enchanting. And the bucolic vision of its late founder Nell Gifford of like-minded artists pitching up on village greens is honoured by the picturesque stop-offs. But the visual delight is maximised by the 1950s America-themed show itself, which, with Cal McCrystal directing, has the aura of a fully-fledged theatre production. Projected imagery of rippling water bathes the ring-floor to help conjure a dreamlike resort inspired by Atlantic City. There's neon signage for Sal's Motel, a soda bar booth, palm trees, and a bandstand. The retro music, performed live, emits a sunshine blast of nostalgia. An opening bout of beach-ball, for instance, is conducted to the happy-clappy sound of doo-wop hit Lollipop, a grinning acrobatic troupe from Ethiopia casually juggling clubs and stepping in time to the tunes. This isn't one for those craving a lot of spectacular death-defying daring – no one is flying from a trapeze, being shot from a cannon or whizzing at speed on motorbikes. Much entertainment is provided by irrepressible resident buffoon Tweedy. Cast as the motel bellboy, he kicks things off with inspired ineptitude involving a deck-chair, and continually tries to sabotage the cheesy variety magician (Maxi), his yearning for ice-cream climaxing in a drenching melée. The animal contribution is also lo-fi and reassuringly genteel: a brazenly bribed Shetland pony and an eager Patterjack are the cutest mascots. It's all very English, with a put-on American accent. Yet while homespun, it still reaches for the stars – and takes risks. The young Garcia brothers (Antonio and Connor) elicit awe with their lithe, gravity-defying handstands, spinning headstands and Charles Atlas physiques. Their parents, Pablo and Vikki provide tongue-in-cheek jeopardy, dangling from a renegade vintage air-plane. Spanish beefcake Randy Forgione Vega whirls high in the air, wielding hand-straps and old-school machismo. But for elegance, grace and a sensuousness that defines the show's judicious mix of flamboyance, flesh and family-friendly fare, there's no beating Daniela Muñoz Landestoy from Cuba and Noémi Novakovics who hails from Hungary. The pair ascend to the sound of Gershwin's Summertime (blissfully sung by Nell O'Hara) and hang suspended and twirling using just their hair for support (ouch!). It's all over in a flash, yet you intuit the long dedication and sense of personal destiny behind it. We must treasure these folk – and their art-form. An art-form perpetuated with toil, sweat and thrilling bravura by Giffords. Tours to Sept 28; tickets: giffordscircus

The 1% Club's tricky alphabet question knocks out a whopping 18 players – but would you have been one of them?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE 1% Club's questions once again proved to be too much for most after one query wiped out almost a fifth of the studio. During one particularly savage round, 18 hopefuls were sent home when they failed to spot the correct sequences of letters. Did you manage to get it right? Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Lee Mack was stunned by how many people got knocked out Credit: ITV 5 There were four options to choose from Credit: ITV 5 The question knocked out 18 people Credit: ITV 5 The tricky question was a brainteaser Credit: ITV The jaw-dropping moment unfolded in series two, episode five of the hit ITV quiz show, where host Lee Mack watched in disbelief as a simple-sounding question exposed just how tricky the game can be. Players were shown four words and asked to spot the one that does not contain three consecutive letters from the alphabet. The options were, Unopenable, Understandable, Unquestionable, and Undefineable. It might look easy on the surface, but spotting sequences like 'DEF' or 'RST' hidden in the words proved harder than expected. Players had just 30 seconds to examine the words and pick out the correct answer. The answer turned out to be C, 'Unquestionable'. ' Unopenable' contains 'NOP', 'Undefineable' includes 'DEF', and 'Understandable' also hides 'RST'. That left as the only one without a consecutive alphabetical trio, making it the right answer. Eighteen contestants failed to spot it, knocking them out of the game in one fell swoop. The shock exit had jaws dropping in the studio. Host Lee Mack kept his cool, but couldn't hide his surprise as players who had breezed through earlier rounds were taken out by the sneaky wording. The question came late in the game, reserved for the sharpest minds — but it still managed to trip up even the most confident contestants. Previously, a whopping 20 players were wiped out in a brutally challenging picture question. The result of the 30% question changed the face of the game, shedding half of the remaining current players. Lee read aloud to the group: "How many RIGHT FOOTPRINTS can you see in the sand." An image was then displayed showcasing an assortment of footprints in the sand. Players were then given 30 seconds to differentiate between the right and left feet. The image then turned the eight right feet green in order to correctly display which of the options the players should have been looking at. The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

Lionesses hero Chloe Kelly jets off for pre-Euros holiday - as she dances and soaks up the sun with her husband and Man United star
Chloe Kelly enjoyed some downtime as she jetted off on holiday with friends ahead of England's European Championship campaign. In a series of snaps on her Instagram account, Kelly showed off her Prada designer sunglasses with the caption: 'Love me some sunshine'. The 27-year-old also shared a group selfie alongside her husband Scott Moore and Manchester United defender and England international Gabby George. The England team-mates then showed off a Tik Tok dance to the viral song Jealousy by Khalil Harrison and Tyler ICU, with Kelly calling on fans to follow her on the short-form video platform. Kelly has had a lot to celebrate since her acrimonious exit from Manchester City in January that saw her accuse the club of 'attempting to 'assassinate my character'. With her career seemingly at a crossroads, the forward was offered a lifeline by Arsenal manager Renee Slegers to return to the club at which she had cut her teeth in the game as a teenager. After joining the Gunners for the remainder of the campaign Kelly quickly became integral to the club's success and she started last month's Women's Champions League final as the north London club secured European glory. As Sarina Wiegman's side prepare to begin the defence of their European crown, Kelly's future destination in club football is still yet to be confirmed. Asked after the Champions League triumph whether she would remain at Arsenal Kelly remained coy in a recent interview. 'Who knows?' She admitted. 'I just know that I've given my all for the club and the club's given their all to me, so I'm always grateful.' However, it appears that talks between player and club are currently underway, with Arsenal noting in their retained list that 'discussions are ongoing' over a new deal for Kelly.
